Taku Kiri E Lyrics

[Intro]
Taku kiri e
Taku kiri e

[Verse 1]
Ko te raupapa, tō tūāpapa e
Mau roa ana i ō teka
Hē ana ngā tumu kōrero
I tō kaponga mana

[Pre-Chorus]
(Kua) panaia tētahi, kia tūohu/ ki te rangi
(Kua) mau mai tētahi hei hāpai i te āriki
Ka horo tō mana e te onepū
He rōrā ki (a) Papa
Kei te ringa te tikanga e
[Chorus]
Hīia ai te ika mutunga, ka mate ai te awa
Ka taka te rangi
Ka mōhio pū koe, ehara te moni-i te kai
Mau mai aku kahika mai i whenua kē
I okea ururoatia
Whakatoiharatia taku kiri

[Verse 2]
He tangata, he kara rānei ki runga?
Tahuna kē ai ō naiki
He muna kino nei e noho tonu ana ki te pō
Ka ū tonu au ki te Tuarua

[Pre-Chorus]
Mātai (i) te hautapu i te pourewa
I te hiahia te tū i te tū o ngā tūpuna
He whika noa tātou i tе hunga taketake
Ka whawhai au
Kia au te moе o rātou mā

[Chorus]
Hīia ai te ika mutunga, ka mate ai te awa Ka taka te rangi
Ka mōhio pū koe, ehara te moni-i te kai
Mau mai aku kahika mai i whenua kē
I okea ururoatia
Whakatoiharatia taku kiri
[Bridge]
Tū mai (tū mai)
Maranga mai (maranga mai)
Me atamai
Kei mate ai (kei mate ai)
E te iwi kia kaha (kia kaha)
(Kia) taurite te mana (te mana)
Rātou kei te tihi
Topea e te tokonui (topea e te tokonui)
Tukuna tō reo (tukuna tō reo)
Kia rere, kia ūmere (kia rere)
Whai rawa haere ai
Ka mātau, ka hoki mai (ka hoki mai)
Ko tātou te tokomaha (tokomaha)
Nei te māramatanga (māramatanga)
Nā te kaha o te ahi tūtata
E kore rawa rā e hinga

[Chorus]
Hīia ai te ika mutunga, ka mate ai te awa
Ka taka te rangi
Ka mōhio pū koe, ehara te moni-i te kai
Mau mai aku kahika mai i whenua kē
I okea ururoatia
Whakawāhia taku kiri
